Howard Community College

Howard Community College has arranged a free carpool matching service for you at Carpoolworld! We are very pleased to have you join us in commuting more efficiently and helping to save the natural environment while you save on your transportation expenses. When you have at least a three occupant carpool established contact SafetyBob@howardcc.edu for a carpool placard to use a reserved carpool space.

How does this program work?

Please click on the "Sign Up!" button to set up a personal account. You must provide a valid email address. You will be asked to enter the location of your "Trip Origin" (where you live or where you wish to meet your carpool). After you confirm your email account, you will be able to view your matches and contact the other commuters in your Carpoolworld group by phone or email. Possible carpool matches also will be emailed to you periodically. If you do not wish to reveal your street address when you enter a carpool request, merely enter your street name or neighborhood. The broader the parameters you enter for time and mileage, the more possible matches you will receive.

How do I know my privacy is being protected?

Please see our Safety, privacy, and terms of use agreement for Carpoolworld's commitments, limitations, and advice concering safety and privacy. Carpoolworld strives to keep your information private and does not send spam. You have the option when you register if you wish to provide your telephone number or just use emails. Depending on your Carpoolworld group setup, you may have the ability to choose to match with people outside your group, or only within the Howard Community College group.

How easy is this system to use?

Once you have created your account, you are free to search the site for other commuters who want to carpool. You may search for those who live close to you, who have similar schedules, or who have similar driving preferences. If you are interested in carpooling with someone, simply click the provided link to send them an email, or call them if they provide a phone number. From there you are free to make arrangements that suit you both. The site also includes advanced features to search for carpools and to display the matches on a map, as you wish.
